Although this issue has been flogged already, just want to add my two cents.

Its obvious you and ballerz both have valid points.

You for his violation of rule 22, him for not wanting to display his contact's detail on a public forum which is valid in itself.

I believe if you had discussed with him as to his intent for asking for pms prior to the lenghthy ban, this would have been avoided.

In cases like these (because i am sure it can come up again in the future), what do you advise?

Bsbabe:
Ballerz only requested private contacts so he could help with FRSC requests. I do not think anyone would have expected him to ask the people requesting his help to post their Driver’s Licences and request letters on a public forum. I think the ban was high handed. It’s important we apply context to the rules in my opinion.

Delta007:
Without knowing the details, I am not sure you want to police adults. People have choices; so allow them to make decisions. Encourage contributors to be transparent instead. If someone requests a PM, the other individual still needs to make that judgement to send the PM/continue the conversation.

Oyamade:
Ok..noted!

But please, you guys should step up o

Its really cumbersome having to refresh your browser every 5mins or bookmarking your last read page to catch up on things here..

Truth is, you guys have added value, but you can do better *thumbs up*

vascey:
Bros e don do. You are a moderator. Please don't go pedestrian. You can't be attacking people like this. You have made your point and it's noted. Let's not derail the thread with this argument.

Rebarobyn:
@justwise I think some things need to be looked at in perspective before applying stiff sanctions. I don't post much but I visit this page multiple times daily. Ballerz is the only NL member I have contacted off the forum and I can't even begin to say how much knowledge and information I have gained from him both on province decisions and our line of profession. One thing he is NOT is a fraudster or someone with criminal intent. He has never solicited anything from me rather he takes his time to respond to personal mails even at odd hours.

It is not his loss but NL members' loss if he leaves this forum with his wealth of knowledge. The guy has nothing to lose he is already in Canada working with his PR.

I hope I have not broken any IMPLIED rule with this post.

Oyamade:
Ballerz....your head is there!!!!

Wats really baffling me is that, you weren't even given a reason for the ban.. Just like the Nigerian Police that will arrest you, detain you for days and you still don't know what you did wrong...lol


And this is to them Seun Osewa, its a nice work you and your team are doing... But men!!! You guys are long overdue for an upgrade, at least an android/iPhone app with push notification isn't bad for a forum like this that has over 3m users!!!

Ballerz:
I was not going to respond but I will not let anyone spoil my reputation.

First of all, I think either yourself or Seun Osewa is very unserious. Great Ife people apply better cognitive reasoning to situations. I am shocked!!
So let me clarify, and this is what happens when people fail to apply common sense to the most basic things. Did you expect I ask people to send their Driving Letter and copy of license to a public forum, then I help them to forward to FRSC from there?

I cannot count how many people sent me their letters and copy of license and I helped in the little way I can, to ensure my ex-colleague gets the letter out in good time. Or did anyone complain I collected a fee, rather I used my own resources to appreciate the FRSC team.
I am not the kind of person that sits behind faceless handle and convulse shit. The people I have interacted with here, know me, my real name and where I work. So Mr. Justwise, you need to get your acts together. Thus, the ban is very good. And it is because of this kind of ill-thoughts actions NL is still at the stage where it is, the forum has failed to develop like the country called Nigeria.

PS, Osewa was not paying me, rather on the flip side, the users here spend their time and data to contribute to forum. People visit here to assist others, because Together Everyone Achieves More. It is a T.E.A.M. effort. This is what other countries have mastered. See how Brampton has bn taken over by Indians. Markam and North York by the Chinese. I am yet to see where Nigerians and Africans are taking over.

Please apply for Next Ban.

Delta007:
Justwise, I think you folks need to be a little careful with subjective interpretations. While the intent is to drive/maintain traffic on this site, the value of this site solely depends on its contributors and content. Alot of valued contributors volunteer their time and knowledge.

Asking someone to contact you is not a reason to ban anyone in an open forum. What is the point of the PM function? I'd rather you encourage sharing openly than a ban unless you are Buhari.

Just my two cents.

czaratwork:
I am surprised to hear this because people converting from ACCA to CPA contacted me and for some, we have gone beyond nairaland. I chat with some on WhatsApp and have been visited by 1. Have i also broken the rule? Infact i begged ballerz to come back on nairaland that people are asking for his assistance.

Please educate me on my limits. I no wan red card.

dustydee:
The rule is very clear, if it means what you described then why is the private message function available? The key here is he did not ASK any nairalander for CONTACT DETAILS.
Just saying.

dustydee:
sir rule 22 states: "Don't ask Nairaland members for contact details (email, phone, bbpin) or investments."
If the reason he was banned was as you stated above, he did not break rule 22. Asking someone to contatct you is different for asking for someones contact details.
Just my observation

DatechMan:
Justwise come and shed light o.

Why did you bounce my oga?

I suspect it might be some overzealous bot.

Edit:
I saw some of your post were previously deleted. I think it's human being. Lol

Ayokunle07:
Hi Justwise

Please I want to apply for the TRV for myself and my wife. We are both bankers earning a combined net annual income in excess of N8m. Our baby was born in the US (with all bills settled) and we still have valid visas. My wife has a landed property - I don't. My newly married friend who got his PR and moved in 2015 is inviting us and below is how his letter looks like. Please help us state what we need to add, emphasize in our application asides the standard checklist.

Watsoneology:
any update on this guy uniting with family

Aphrodite007:
Yes I concur with this. I wasn’t working and I had what was left after paying the tuition and accommodation. They didn’t query how I got such an amount even though I wasn’t working then.

bjayNL:
@JUSTWISE

So a follow up to this, I contacted Brandon University for a degree in Geology after a second class lower degree (2.92/5.00 GPA) in Nigeria.

I asked if some courses would be waived for me as I already completed one degree in it.

The reply was yes, but they would need an Official syllabus from my previous Univeristy, I know of Official Transcript, I don't know how they get official Syllabus?

How do I go about this?

Hello Justwise,
Thank u for your response. I have realised my mistake and will correct it in my next application. The case of my sis in law sponsoring me as well, will that help any situation?
